Isn't it preferable to have him in a self-sufficient position rather than as a liability of the state?”
“I have been called 'Bongshell' the day I stepped into showbiz. So, any adjective coming my way, I take it positively. Sometimes it's also entertaining, but I don't feel bad about it. I'm a proud woman.”
